Speed limit may be raised U By JASON MISNER Tow The Champion trai! leci coiottable s'ot a I owtt rcc- WaI ommendation that the speed limit ber( along a portion of Commercial sion Street be raised f0 50 kmi/h. 01 "I'm flot very happy about that," stirt hie said. I t hink the whole area 501 should be designated a eommunity udta safety zone." the Community saftety zones are limù Ioeated near areas sensitive f0 traf- A fie, like sehools, where fines for Tospeeding are doubled. There are der, currently five such zones ini Milton. kmA On Monday night the communi- becý ty services committee passed a Con staff recommendation that the ans speed limit along Commercial any Street, between just north of prot Sydney Street and Heslop Road, be A] raised to 50 km/h. Currently the mot limit is 40 km/h during sehool days anc, between 8 arn. and 5 p.m. betv According to Heide Schlegl, the dert Trustee supports ini-tiative a Imm WM~ on pag. 2 the 1chiklrn we're all for," said Sergeant Jef Corey of Halton Regioal Police. Milton public school board Trustee Paul Tate said he favours any measure th at afepts to protect kId. 'l think anything that aclds to safety we would have f0 support," be said. Mayor Gord Kranfz, also supportive of the move, stressed that ail motorifs should use extra caution when travel- ling in school areas. "We ail sbould be very cognizant of that fact."

"Increasing the speed limif shouldn'f increase fheir (moforief s') operafing speed because they drive that area like i's already 50 kmi/h." But Mr. Tate fears moforist s eould drive faster than fthe posted limit. "I thinl there are a lot of chîl- dren along that roadway. It's alto a busy thoroughfare. 1 think within fthe town people should be paying attention to the speed limit."
